Not. You still would need an human to sample this moths, kill them appropriately, and manipulate it carefully to move it in the correct position under your binocular in the correct light and place. They are fragile and you can't do it without an human.
Would be worse than what you have currently. No capability to sample selectively, or to jump in advance to all the interesting parts (instead to do all the walk for every single species).
In the end you will have a worst performance, much more work to do, and none of the trained experts available to put any control in your system. Mimetic moths can deceive even a well trained expert.
AI, DNA, morphology. Biodiversity is vast, and diverse. Figuring out the clusters within it (there a huge range of concepts of what a species [== clusters] is), and figuring out how that cluster can be meaningfully applied to issues that affect humans takes time, a lot of time. We commonly say in our research group that all of these are just another tool, we should embrace them all, but we can't escape the time it takes to work with the data at all levels. All the sequencing, AI, and even plain-old pictures in the world doesn't matter if you don't know how to catch the beast. And there are millions and millions of things to look at, all over the world. Again, in working with data at this scope on a day-today basis, not even big data, just broad, I'm struck with how little we can relate to this vastness, and I've been trained for decades to work with it.
We have videos from last years conference that highlight the tech that tries to rapidly barcode species, that can give you a flavour of the complexity involved. This is perhaps the world's leading taxonomists exploring how, practically, to do such: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX_1wdmROhU.
We're going to solve the "species ID" problem for... everything that people can find! Like the completely unidentifiable ladybug my Aunt found in her RV last week in the Texas panhandle—a bizarrely intricate carapace I can't match to any pics of ladybug species anywhere online... What the heck is it! Nobody knows, apparently.
It starts with a unique citizen science project—one with bespoke molecular sensing hardware. (note I said it starts there, not that it reaches fruition immediately!) Check it out here: www.molecularReality.com
